Dear Mr Swale,
I furnish herewith my report of the election of committee members held at the Annual General Meeting of Melbourne PC User Group Inc on Wednesday 6 November 2002.
Annual Election Results
The breakup of votes cast was as follows:
|
Postal Meeting Proxies Invalid Total |
29 |
There were ten candidates for the eight vacant committee member positions and the results of the election are:
| Successful candidates | ||
|
Ray Beatty Ash Nallawalla Barry Martin David King Diana Allen Dennis Olsen William Dair Frank Maher |
309 |
|
| Unsuccessful candidates | ||
|
Morris Tobias 123 Lyn Mitchell 105 |
123 |
|
The small number of invalid votes is pleasing
but the total number of votes cast is
disappointing considering the number of
members comprising Melbourne PC User
Group.
I thank Trish Swan and the office staff for the
preparatory work carried out prior to the
voting, the volunteers who manned the
polling desks and the volunteers who so ably
counted the votes and checked the count.
Finally I think the Group should be able to
do much better and encourage more members
to vote than the 3.4% of our membership
who voted this year. I am strongly of the
view that future elections should be
conducted by postal ballot and I recommend
that this method should be instigated for the
2003 elections.
Yours sincerely,
D A Brooke
Acting
Returning Officer
Honorary Life Member -
Melbourne PC User Group.
